C. , 150, 000 fans jammed the Roman Coliseum to see the Christians play the Lions. Years before the University of Rome had won the Big Seven by beating the Helvetians. Caesar was all-European that year. He was quarterback on offense and way back on defense. The forward pass was invented by Romeo the year they played Juliet. It must be said that Juliet couldn't defend against the forward pass because she had never heard of it. I think the Romans get credit for the trap play. It seems Cassius and Brutus trapped Caesar two years later in a non-league game. He never recovered. Football soon caught on all over the continent. Rome subsidized all the good players so things looked pretty bleak. However, Columbus, coach of the University of Santa Maria, set out in search of fresh talent. He discovered some red men whom he called Indians. He established the Peru Aztecs and the Mexican Incas. They developed two great players Cortez and Pizzarro. However, at Madrid A Sz M Pop Pasquali was developing a fine team. One day Pisa U. ran around them for a touchdown. Pop said, Thats the end. Hence the phrase end run was born. People were migrating to America, however, a lad by the name of Paul Revere was developing quite a kicking toe. He got his practice kicking English soldiers across rivers. He led his team, the Boston Colonials, to two unbeaten seasons. At Valley Forge, Wash- ington delivered the first halftime talk. His team, the New York Roundheads, were playing the King's Cavaliers. He used every theatric he could think of to inspire his men. Ethan Allen had a great team one year at Green Mountain Teachers College. Red Pulaski and Dutch Kosciusko were his outstanding lineman. Van Stueban was his assistant coach. They beat Paris U. in the Molasses Bowl that year. About this time there occured the Boston Tea Party. They formed a formation to throw it over the side. This was called the first tea formation. Europe had a great change in rules a few years back. It was called the Renaissance. Free substitution was abolished along with the flying wedge. The first clipping penalty was called on Henry VIII who clipped Saint Thomas More and John Fisher in Crammer's run, which led Protes-tantism to a victory over Catholicism. This victory led to a new reign of terror in England. The Mason-Dixon line was just coming into prominence in America. This line led the South to many a victory. However, Mason was much bigger than Dixon. This was the first unbalanced line. With the Renaissance the old Greek and Latin formations came into prominence. Caesar was forced to play a game without his right wing one day, bringing about the invention of the single wing. This formation was revived during the Renaissance. The greatest players of this time was Leonardo DaVinci. He led Florence A 8: M to the Roman Mountain Champion- ship. Over in the African League, the Black Panthers won everything in sight. They played their games on cliffsg here was created the first dive play. Football progressed onward until a great rivalry between North U. and South A 8: M developed in the U. S. This led to many great games. Richard Lee and Ullyses Grant were the great players of this time. Coach Lincoln's address at Gettysburg was the greatest halftime talk ever. Finally, the North with Grant at fullback smashed down the South. Over in Europe a French team led by Nifty Nat Napoleon were running wild. A few years later they were toppled from the unbeaten ranks by Waterloo A 8: M. Poor old Nap had to retire from the active game. Henry VIII is also credited with another first. When he threw out Ann Boleyn it was the first pitchout in history. The original man in motion was Massai, an Indian, who was chased on a naked reverse by the U. S. Calvalry. The longest run in -history was made by an unknown English soldier, who ran all the way to England from Concord as the first shot was fired. Needless to say he was voted Back of the Year. Football in the last fifty years has slipped to a monopoly. The French team, Notre Dame, stands head and crewcuts over the whole football world. 60 MR.

O9 1 S, In 00 feb 1 W yffe, .TO is A lass Jfaisturp ln the year of 1943 we entered the First Grade of Saint John School somewhat shy and excited. Sister Mary Roland met us at the door with open arms. She taught us new prayers, reading, and our A B C's. In the Second Grade we had the privilege of making our First Holy Communion. Under the help and guidance of Sister Jean Ann we obtained a greater love of Christ in His Holy Sacrament. We were definitely much wiser as we entered the Third Grade. Mrs. Winters instructed us in the first quarter. When the second quarter rolled around she retired. Sister Marie Roberts taught us for the remainder of the Third Grade. Sister Marie Gonzaga taught us how to be perfect ladies and gentlemen. She also taught us that children should be seen and not heard. Our big moment came when we were made Soldiers of Christ. Sister Maurleen taught us prayers in preparation for Confirmation. Yes, we were really men and women now! Sister Vincella taught us the fundamentals of good grooming. She prepared us for Junior High School. Sister Ethel helped us organize our Sodality. Sister Eustace prepared us for our coming high school years. We picked our subjects and waited patiently for the coming year. It was a great day for us that September of Sl when we stood in a huddle in front of Church waiting for Mass to begin. Yes, this was it, that day we all dreamed of, the day when we would don the halls with our brilliant smiles as green freshmen. Many things took place during that year. Under the guidance of Sisters Clare and Marie Clair, our homeroom Sisters, we took our first steps forward, we were now part of one big plan, a plan that would, we hoped, carry us into our later years with courage and ability. We withstood everything-initiation, dances, partys, and such until in June we left for our vacation as old hands at all high school antics. Our sophomore year was also packed full of excitement and never-to-be-forgotten memories. Sister Marie Clair our homeroom Sister guided us in giving the Seniors a very successful breakfast. We found high school very enjoyable and before long we were on our wayg examinations finished, report cards distributed, we were now considered Juniors. Perhaps the most exciting part of our Junior year was the Prom. We started giving dances to earn money for the occasion and found we were quite successful at it. Sister Jean Baptiste spent many patient hours with us getting us ready for the event. Through her guidance and help the evening was a big success. We picked our class rings this year, the entire class agreed on the same style. We felt more important now, ready and eager to approach our final year. When September of 54 finally drew near and we were entering the school for our last year, a certain air of regret seemed to move through the halls with us. Regardless of our busy schedule we all seemed to realize that this year would end a carefree life and send us on our ways into the world, choosing the field we most admired. The biggest project of the year was the annual Blue Book. Under the guidance of Mrs. Scarpino, we published a successful book. The entire year was full of activity. In November we put up our fight for the Duffy Jug. We lost, but we won an outstanding moral victory. In December the seniors were received in the Miraculous Medal. Things seemed to die down now, maybe to prepare us for the most important event, our commencement exercises and graduation. We are grateful to Sister Hiltrude for her never ending guidance in this our Senior year and will always remember you, Sister Hiltrude and our Dear Alma Mater, St. John's High. Nancy Newman Pat Brown 66 IH55 will We, the Senior Class of St. John, 1955, being of sound mind, leave to our successors the remains of a prosperous senior year. To Reverend Father Coyle and his two hard- working assistants, we leave the satisfaction of knowing they have done their job well. We'll try to live up to our high moral standings. To the faculty, we leave our sincere thanks for pushin us through four strenuous years of high school. In particular to Mother Miriam Cqair, we leave our sincere gratitude for guiding us on our path to suc- cess. And to Sister Hiltrude we leave the satisfaction of seeing another perfect Senior Class graduate under her expert guidance. To the Freshman class, we leave the memory of an exciting? school picnic. To the Sophomores, we leave the dirty dishes from a tasty reakfast. Thank You! To the Juniors, we leave, in eneral, the brilliant school spirit that we have brought into St. John's.

I have been prevailed upon to try to foresee into the future and record my visions for posterity in this bluebook. I consulted my crystal ball and this is what I saw. The year is 1975. Great strides have been taken in every field. Everything is so different it is hard to imagine it is the same Jackson. The prophesying ball first gives me a glimpse of what our class president, Ron Svoboda, is doing these days. It seems he is president of a large corporation which manufactures orange crates for seats in automobiles. Next we switch to the Atlantic Ocean where Captain Dale Lammers is conducting on the U. S. S. Teresa, an investigation. He is trying to find out who stole the onions that were in the food lockers. He always did like onions. On his ship is the Middleweight Champ of the Navy, Frank fthe K,O, Kidj Messner. Champ has to row whenever a rubber band breaks and fouls up the whole works. Back on dry land we see Delphine Krist is being crowned Champion Typist of the World. Jim Pahl was giving her a battle until his keys stuck. Back to the light bulbs for lim. Along with the Championship, Delphine won a job with the company which makes Mother Macree's Mustard. The chief of this operation is none other than Harriet Dupuis Macree herself. Sure and begorra. The mustard recipe is an exclusive product of one of our best mixers, Jerry Helms. Jerry and his faithful dog are now making a television series known as Buttons and Bows. Speaking of television we mustn't forget to mention Buffalo Bob Baker, the ex -marine who has made a million dollars selling history tests to high school students. He is being romantically linked with Kathleen Robison, a millionaire in her own right. She invented an ice-cream scoop which scoops two dips at once. As I look into my crystal ball again all I can see is a red flash blazing across the horizon, That means only one thing. Jerry Chmielewski is off on one of his interplanetary raids again. Last week he stole the Big Dipper, and things have been pretty dry on the moon ever since. Jerry uses jet fuel put out bythe Arcaro-Randis petroleum Company. It contains Tri-Iceofphosphateg which makes it high test stuff. Their advertising agent is Droodles Everett, who's hamburg-with-handles-for-people-who-don't-like-greasy-fingers won the Nobel Prize for Droodles. At this point, the crystall ball got cloudy and a consultation with Bill Erven, expert on crystal balls, revealed we needed a new tube. All I can say is with the fee he charged, ole cat-man Erven can take Mona to the Cinema this week. The Oscars were presented last week and our Jerry Schafer won one of these for his performance in She's Mine , co- starring with Jay was the French star, Jacqueline, and an unknown Grand Rapids heavyweight. Needless to say it was a war picture. Also in the movie industry is Bob Kinstle who is an usher at the Drive-in. He was doing all right until that car ran over him. He salts the popcorn now. The crystal ball now focuses on a record shop. It seems Paul Watters record of Davey Crockett is still going like hot cakes. The Polish version, by Tom Nastally, is also in the top ten. In the executive branch we have two representatives, Bob Gitthens is a member of the Baseball Rules Committee. As a former infielder he is petitioning for handles on baseballs. Chairman of the I. F. O.F.' for the 5th straight year is Bob Dugal, a real artist in his chosen field, freeloading. In the Sporting World I see Louis Scarpino won the Vezina Trophy for the fifth straight year. Charles fBullett-shotj Sitko was leading scorer. Another notable achievement is the triumph of Jerry Hanes in the Tubbs Cup Matches. Jerry beat such pool wizards as cueball Karasek and Lefty Stoll, the only woman in the tournament. Helen Smith won the Indiannapolis 500 for the fourth straight year. I never thought a Chevrolet would make it. Her pit crew consisted of Monkeywrench Mary Dalton and Greasegun Liz Oldenburg. A new trio has risen in the music world. They're record of Get Off the Stove, Grandma, You're Too Old to be Riding the Range sold a million. This trio, known as the DeLestrangeo Sisters is made up of Nancy Newman, Mary Lou Vassal, and Maryann Lambert. I see that one of our former classmates, Ron Walicki, revolutionized the food industry by making Krogers a Drive-in. His wife, the former Kate Murray, better known as Carrot-Top was the Chinese Checker Champ of the World three years running. The law offices of Fitzgerald and Brieger is known the world over. They recently got Killer Tom Stewart and Blackey Shotwell off of a charge of selling tough horses to the Wimpyburger. The arresting officer was Inspector Bernie Boardman of Scotland Yard. Bernie took his wife, the former Pat Brown over to England with him. They now have enough children for an independent police force. I am forced to end this peek into the future on a sad note. It seems Bill Pullinger was going to college somewhereway way up North. One day he fell in a snowbank and they never found him. That is all I can tell you. Right now a late-late movie is coming into view on my crystall ball, so I must end this report. One last thing, these predictions are guarenteed 99 441100010 wrong.
